Description

A 2010 vintage Bordeaux wine from Chateau Clos du Clocher. The 2010 wine from Clos du Clocher is a well velvet-textured Pomerol, showing some of the richness of the Merlot. This is a well-balanced, intensely rich wine, the black plum fruit flavors powering through the tannins, and with a good lift of fresh acidity to finish.

Clos du Clocher is a wine estate located in the Pomerol wine-growing appellation. Clos du Clocher comprises three parcels of vineyards, 150 yards apart and situated 300 yards south of the church in Pomerol. It is surrounded by the most famous growths of the appellation.

Clos du Clocher was founded in 1924 when the first parcel of vines was bought by negociant Jean Baptiste Audy, a successful Bordeaux negociant who also own several Chateaux. Today the estate is owned and managed by Jean Baptiste Audy’s grandson Pierre Bourotte and his son Jean-Baptiste. As well as Clos du Clocher, they also own Château Bonalgue (Pomerol), Château Monregard la Croix (Pomerol), Château Les Hauts-Conseillants (Lalande de Pomerol), Château du Courlat (Lussac-Saint-Emilion). Robert Parker really rates this lesser-known Pomerol – “For unknown reasons, this Pomerol estate remains under most consumers’ radar, but they have been fashioning strong efforts over recent vintages. The wine [exhibits] terrific fruit, a textured mouthfeel, and an impressive finish.”
